Main

Scott Hannah

I am a final year PhD student who has experience of teaching and researching physiology and exercise physiology. I have a passion for research methodologies, statistics and data science. I have worked in a variety of roles ranging from Lecture of Physiology to Dance Science Laboratory Technician. I like collaborative environments where I can learn from my peers. Currently searching for a position that allows me to research human physiology and develop data science tools to analyse physiological data.
